Chapter 25 - I want to become your home (2/2)
He says nothing.
”If you like someone, you are not supposed to kill them unless you are a sociopath.”
He stares at me.
”I want to love and marry a normal guy. I have dreams too.” I make an ice ball. ”I want to go back home.”
He tucks away the strand of hair behind my ear. ”I want to become your home.”
I throw the ice ball at his face. ”Stop saying weird things.”
He purses his lips and looks down, upset and embarrassed. He looks so cute. Is he really the master of death?
He isn't like Kang Si An. Then, Kang Si An also hugged me tightly and acted like he was in pain because of my supposed death. I don't understand what is going on with these two men with the same soul.
”Kyuri.” My aunt calls me. ”Come here. We need to talk.”
I give him a look before I go away.

”Marry him.”
”What the...?” I am shocked. ”Are you okay, Aunt? How can I marry someone like him?”
She looks exhausted. ”Kyuri, if I marry you, you will be dead before we reach the capital. The Yu family wouldn't accept Yu Chen, who is the son of the former spy from an enemy country, to have a wife. You see, the Yu family nearly got executed because of that woman. If I pick a random woman I met on the battlefield as my wife or concubine, that will bring trouble.”
I start pacing in the room. ”Aunt, are there no chances of finding time crystals in this period?”
”You don't think that I didn't think of that?” My aunt lets out a deep sigh. ”The timekeepers are secretive. If I go and seek them, I will end up dead. I don't know where they are either.”
”I can do it.” I look at her. ”I can walk through dreams. If I enter the world of dreams, I might be able to find any information about the keeper or where they are keeping the time crystals. It will take a bit of time to search, but I can do it.”
My aunt looks down at the notebook. Thinking. I try to figure out my next step. I don't want to marry that weirdo. By the way, why I am in this situation? Kang Si An made me his fake contract girlfriend. Li Jun wants to marry me. Li Jun tried to kill me. Kang Si An will try to kill me. This man is bad news.
”You still have to marry him.” She tells me quietly, ”If you don't, you will be executed. Marry him and then, we will both try to find the time crystals. Until we find a clue, you have to stay beside him. You have attracted the wrong attention, he can protect you in a way that I can't. I need to keep you away from the Yu family. When you find any clue, you and I will run away together.”
But, what will I do till then? I hold my head. I am afraid of being molested every night by that guy.
